What this tool does

Check whether a draft fits a word limit or how long it will take to read. The counter updates locally and shows words, characters, sentences, paragraphs, and reading time.

Good fit

Checking an abstract, a bio, a school assignment, or a script against a limit.

Not a fit

Using word count as a quality measure; a short paragraph can be harder to write than a long one.
